She is a nice person but this class is useless and really just a waste of time. All the work is busy work, the class moves very slowly, and even though it's easy to get done it's so boring. it has nothing to do with the education profession. it barley has anything to do with writing either, she really just rambles about nothing.

She does this interesting grading contract that helps students be graded by their change of writing and effort (something like that). She really tries to be engaging and involved and Is sweet!

Love this woman! There are three very easy writing projects and are not graded harshly! She really cares about her students wants all her students to pass! Totally recommend her! She is by far one of the best professors I have ever had at UCSB! 10/10

This is the worst class I have ever taken EVER. She is so unstructured and honestly has no clue what she is doing. She talks on and on about pointless things and does not actually teach. She seems like she would grade easy but really does not at all. Dont be fooled by any of these 5 star rate my professor reviews.

Nicole is really awesome!!! She used grading contract which both gave students opportunity to get a decent grade & to improve their writing instead of looking for instructors' pleasure. She's super accessible outside the class in her office hour/via Zoom. Highly recommend her class for your journey of writing!

Best English professor ever
